It's a little shorter than I was hoping for, even at maximum height.  (Maybe I should have measured it better?)  That said, it works very well otherwise, and is great because the console cabinet we bought has an unstable top.  It's useful because it's sort of like having a wall-mounted TV, except without having to drill holes into the wall.  If it was another foot or so taller, it would have been 5 out of 5 stars!  (The directions are a little confusing, but other than that, putting this together was a cinch.)
